The old people must suffer so that the “refugees” can benefit.

Wait a minute. They don’t count food or fuel costs when they are calculating the “inflation rate,” but now they do.

Liars and figures comes to mind.

I recall being told several years ago that gas prices were not included in calculating COLA as they were too volatile.

This was when they were sky high.

Yeah, someone has to pay for all the illegals and people that NEVER PAID INTO SS can get money that is not even theirs, even in part.

“The big story has been the plunging gas prices,” said Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. “There’s not a lot of inflation anywhere.”

yeah, right.

This is by design.

They are doing it to build a constituency for the Dems “Tax Wall Street and Expand Social Security” meme next Fall.

Of course people will conveniently forget that it was a Democrat President who stiffed them 3 times in 6 years.
Hell, they’ll likely blame George W. Bush for it.

SS looked at my 2013 income and decided that my 2015 Medicare Part B would be $104.90 PLUS a 100% penalty of another $104.90. It took me 9 months to get them to look at my 2014 income to readjust that penalty.

So from what I read in this account is that the $104.90 could go up for 2016 to something over $150 ? Is that right?
